Good Morning Dan, and glad Sunday to all!
What a harvest of dramatic works:
#1 Simonet
#6 Leullier
#7 Braddock
#9 Tissot
#15 Dore’
#34 Martin
Yay! Thank You Dan!
#3 van Dyck who had been Ruben’s most famous student. He painted this at age 18 showing his remarkable precocious talent.
#9 Tissot
#14 Blake - oil on copper - As always with his paintings, there is a sense of being in another dimension, nothing looks real and at the same time we know, we feel, we participate. In painting the elongated bodies of Jesus and his disciples over those in the crowd, was Blake saying they were larger than life, elevated spiritually over the rest of humanity?
#21 Pedro Orrente, a good 17th c. artist of the Spanish Baroque period who had been trained by El Greco.
#34 John Martin whose work we encountered in the OT. Celebrated English Romantic artist, his compositions are vast, dramatic, usually populated with small figures in imposing landscapes
Glorious Morning Dan!
.
#7 showing the Golden Gate which is
Now sealed up,,, IIRC.
Fascinating
Thanks
